Start Page Numbers on a Specific Page in Microsoft Word - Start Page Numbering on Page X in Word

In the video I demonstrate how to start page numbering on a specific page in a Microsoft Word document.

Sometimes you want your page numbering to start on a page other than page one: it may be on the second or third page. The only way to achieve this is to create sections within your document.

Sections allow you to apply different page-level formatting to different parts of your document. A header or footer can be set up to be independent of a header or footer in a different section. This video will show you how to create sections and unlink a footer from the footer in the previous section of your document.

Thank you for this tutorial, Chester. I have wasted hours on word tutorials trying to achieve this numbering in my document. Your tutorial was so helpful and easy to follow.

[georgeshelton]

Many thanks! Before this video, I looked at half a dozen other tutorials, both in text and on YouTube, and they were either too complicated or flawed by missing steps. Yours cuts right to the chase and is easy to follow.
